Bunny, I'm sorry to hear this but things will get better. Shaving his butt area should help a lot. When my RB Pepper was very sick and had very bad diarrhea the vet shaved his butt area and it worked wonders. Ziggy still has some minor problems from time to time but usually just combing it out works well. Luckily Sky and Storm rarely ever have this problem.

Several of my cats also like to chew on cardboard or paper products. Usually they'll out grow it but Sky will still do this sometimes. I haven't tried any of the sprays but it's a good idea. Hopefully he'll out grow this habit. Good luck.

I agree with everyone on the butt shaving. I had to do it to Penny once a week until I just gave up, and did a lion cut. No more problems...

BUT I will add one thing to the chewing, my fosters chew on EVERYTHING from cardboard to blinds, to carpet and trash bags. I think it is a boredom issue. Is he locked up for long periods without play time?

I think it is a boredom issue. Is he locked up for long periods without play time?

I too was wondering if it was boredom. Yes, he is locked up 24/7 for 3 weeks now, with more to go he has 'met' his 2 brothers and knows they are on the other side of the door, along with a whole houseful of things he has yet to discover. I really do feel sorry for him being in there so I try to spend some time with him a lot during the day, but on the other hand I am kind of worried to be in there with him........I have broken out with 2 more 'rings' and worried those darn spores are still floating around the house! I guess all that bleach wasn't enough!!

Our vet just ordered transdermal (sp?) patches for all 3 of them, so I will pick them up tomorrow and find out how to use them. This is supposed to be the new way to treat ringworm.....let's see if it really works!

Yep, butt shaving. Or at least trimming. I have three long haired kitties and, believe me, I can relate.
